The Slow Mo Guys, Gav and Dan, conduct an experiment involving an airbag and a mannequin, "Slow Moe," to demonstrate a phenomenon called "popcorning." They initially fail to achieve the desired effect due to the airbag not being contained. However, after using a tire to contain the airbag and switching to a larger passenger-side airbag, they successfully create a massive explosion that sends Slow Moe flying apart, with pieces hitting the ceiling and causing significant damage. The hosts are shocked by the intensity of the explosion and note that it would have been extremely dangerous for a human to be in the same room. They ultimately decide to retire Slow Moe and plan to repair him for future use.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The hosts are Gav and Dan, also known as The Slow Mo Guys.
2. They are discussing and demonstrating a phenomenon called "popcorning," where an airbag goes off under a person, launching them into the air.
3. They have a mannequin named Slow Moe to test the airbag.
4. The first test with the airbag did not produce the desired results, with Slow Moe not launching very far.
5. The hosts tried a different approach, using a passenger-side airbag and containing it in a tire to direct the energy upwards.
6. The second test was more successful, with Slow Moe being launched into the air and hitting the ceiling.
7. The airbag also exploded and sent debris flying, including Slow Moe's hand and leg.
8. The hosts were surprised by the intensity of the explosion and the damage it caused.
9. They discussed the dangers of the experiment and how it could have been disastrous if they had been in the room with it.
10. The hosts concluded that they would not do any more experiments with the airbag and would retire Slow Moe.
11. They warned viewers not to try this experiment at home.
